Looking for advice and suggestions on how to build this out...
I am exporting raw data from a data source and pasting it into Excel. The data source cannot directly connect with Excel (hence pasting it in). The data is used to populate a bunch of charts and graphs, similar to a dashboard. The raw data will change depending on the data request. Instead of rebuilding all the charts and graphs, I'd like to paste the new data into the Excel workbook and refresh all the charts and graphs. What is the recommended approach?
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

I have a ppt with 80+ charts in 50+ slides.
When I get the data, I've to go into each chart -> right click -> Edit data -> Update the data in the embedded excel.
This process I'm repeating 80+ times for each chart which is time consuming.
I'm aware that the ppt can be transformed into a complete excel pack where we can have all the data in one single sheet and link to multiple charts in different tabs.
But, Is there a possibility in ppt itself to keep all the data in one embedded excel and refer it to all the 80+ charts?
Really appreciate any help on this!!
Please let me know if you have any questions..
Thanks..
I need to send the excel workbook tabs from "Combined" to "PPA HQ" that contain pivot tables and graphs, without the source data. Is it possible to do that?
I would like to keep the the tabs "Combined" to "PPA HQ" in the same workbook and same formats, but without the source data.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
I have an issue with excel refresh and updating data to Power point.
Current Setup : Excel charts are linked to PPT and macro is written to refresh excel data and updating charts in PPT. But the process is taking very long time as I have around 30 charts linked using 30 different excel workbooks which in turn has link to database to get the data.
I need help to get out of this issue. I have tried using automatic update links in Power Point which is little ok in performance, but the question here is does it also refresh data in excel ?
I’ve been trying to do this using my very limited coding knowledge. But how do I copy paste particular charts and tables in my excel sheet onto particular pages in my presentation?
Some need to be copied as pictures but most as chart objects.
Thank you in advance!!
I have a ppt presentation with hundreds of charts that are all linked to the same .xls file. I want to send the presentation to the client and I want him to be able to access the data. However, I do not want him to open the entire xls file when he clicks on edit data.
So what I would like to do is to "convert" the linked charts to charts with an embedded excel that only contains the data concerning the specific chart.
(I am not sure if that's the right way to put it. I feel like the distinction between embedded and linked is not as clear cut anymore as it used to be in previous office versions)
I have found a macro for ppt 2003 that simply copies the old chart and does
Set oSh2 = oSl.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteOLEObject)(1)
but I think this does now longer work ( I am working with ppt 2013).
Any ideas on how to do this are highly appreciated. Many thanks
If you don't want to give him access to the entire original workbook/worksheet, you'll need to create multiple worksheets, each with just the data you DO want him to be able to get at and then either link or embed those into your PPT file.
If you create the charts using the old MS Graph mini-app (still included, if optionally, with Office) you can link data from an external Excel file into the graph datasheet. I'm almost certain that doing it this way will give others access to the graph datasheet (ie JUST the data used for the graph) but not to the linked source XL file.
I don't see a way of doing this with the new chart engine.
